Lauren Taylor Shares What She Learned About Herself from Playing Her 'Best Friends Whenever' Character

We're so excited that the first episode of Best Friends Whenever is premiering on the Disney Channel tonight after Teen Beach 2: we feel like we've been waiting forever to see the new series about time-traveling BFFs!

When we caught up with Lauren Taylor, who plays Shelby on the show, we asked her all about her character, and what she thinks she has in common with her.

"I think I'm more similar to Shelby than I am [her BFF] Cyd," Lauren shares exclusively with TWIST. "I like to be positive, and I like to encourage people to believe in themselves. The truth is if you believe in yourself and you believe you can do it, you will. It’s crazy, and it sounds so cheesy, and I remember being told this when I was in kindergarten and I was like ‘don’t talk,’ but it’s true."

From playing her new character, Lauren has learned a lot about herself. "Just stay positive," she shares about what she has learned to do. "If you have a situation that’s not great just always remain positive because it will work out." What great advice!
